Light Heavyweight Division

UFC Light Heavyweight Championship – Jerry Prochazka (c) vs. Glover Taxira: Apologies to John Blachucci, who is expected to face Prochazka as a result of UFC 275. Father’s Time is ticking off this match again, though the ageless surprise Teixeira is different. Teixeira, the first UFC champion in history, was about 30 seconds away from defending his crown at the age of 42. It serves as the ultimate confirmation of Teixeira’s 20-year journey in the game. It may just be at the forefront of Fight of the Year, but they may not have two years to run it back, as Zhang and Jededrzejczyk did. Both men suffered heavy losses on Saturday, but Teixeira has accumulated more over time. Lightweight heavyweights have a lot of dynamic components that can interfere with this matchup, such as Blachowicz, Magomed Ankalaev or Anthony Smith. It may be wise to strike when the iron is hot.

Women’s Flyweight and Bantamweight Division

UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship – Juliana Pina (c) or Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko: It’s time for Shevchenko to return to the women’s bantamweight division. Shevchenko’s decision to split made it difficult to win. Competing against Taila Santos in UFC 275. It may not be a terrific, mighty launch pad for Super Fight, but the fact is that women’s flyweight is detrimental to fresh contenders. You have to reach Alexa Grasso (No. 5) vs. the winner. Viviane Araujo (No. 7) to find Shevchenko’s next challenger at 125 pounds. The only two losses of Shevchenko’s career have been to former women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, including a decision that many believe should have gone her way. Juliana Pina vs Nunes 2 is ready for UFC 277 on July 30. If Nunes wins, Pena will have a hard time making his case for an immediate rematch. If the drink wins, Nunes is out of the picture. However, the door is open for Shevchenko. Women’s Flyweight Champion He expressed his desire to fight for the Bantamweight Belt. By the end of the year. It should also leave room for the UFC to develop challengers in both divisions, such as Caitlin Vera (women’s bantamweight), Grasso and Manon Ferrott (women’s flyweight).

Women’s Straightweight Division

Carla Esparza (c) vs UFC Women’s Strawberry Championship Zhang Valley: This is nonsense. Zhang has just won the biggest knockout of his career, ending a memorable feud with Jedderezzek and sending his fellow former champion to retire. UFC President Dana White has already announced that Zhang will be the winner. Jededrzejczyk is next in line and this is very significant. Fellow contender Marina Rodriguez has struggled to return to the title scene with four wins since losing to Sparza in 2020. Unfortunately, for every dollar of UFC’s promotional machine sold to Sparza’s fight, he and Rose Namajonas after delivery. The worst UFC title fight in history. Zhang can fix this to some extent. The book Sparza vs. Zhang, and Namjons vs. Rodriguez will face a potential challenger for the winner.
